This (http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,3604,1123787,00.html) article from the Guardian shows exactly what the Arab world has done for us:p

You know what, i hate selling the express to people at my work, especially when it has that idiot Kilroy on the front of it!

The arab world did do a lot for us yes, on that count Kilroy is wrong.

What gets me about this whole issue is that as soon as anyone critiscises muslims or arabs then the whole PC brigade goes completly beserk. When someone accuses Christians of being barbarians (hint: Aladdin) then nothing happens.

We must not be afriad to critiscise people, cultures and even religions if it is for the best.

Certainly at the moment the arab world gives us nothing except oil.

:banghead:

What do you expect them to give you exactly?

Are there no Arab scientists or industries? Are there no Arab films and no Arab food or culture?

Does the Arab world 'give us' less than for example the Latin American world?

There are none. Give me an important Arab scientific breakthrough in the last 10 years.

They just need to sort their region out, im not saying that they are inherantly useless.

Oh for fucks sake. :rolleyes: We've been through this. Criticising certain aspects of a culture or particular regimes is fine. Stereotyping a whole group of people in the way that Kilroy did is not.

Who are the "PC brigade" by the way? Are they like the Scouts?

Well there are Arab lecturers at my university who have provided as much as others as far as I know.

There is no such thing as an 'Arab' scientific discovery, do you mean a scientific discovery made by an Arab perchance?

What the hell do you know about the achievemnts that a group of people comprising millions of individuals has contributes you idiot.......
